We provide children with an environment that normalizes relationships and experiences. Helping them in the healing process and enhancing their quality of life. We give them the opportunity to share experiences & feelingsee new challenges & push their limits & cope with their circumstances in a positive way. They grow, support and challenge one another. The stories children share are emotional and special: 'Half a word is enough', f'Everything is possible', 'Everybody accepts me as I am.'
Treatment of pediatric cancer has many side effects and long term effects that have consequences for a child's quality of life. Besides physical effects like hearing loss, visual impairment, heart failure, amputation, chronic fatigue, a child may also experience reduced self-esteem, problems with friendships & relationships or education. Camps are their chance to escape their cancer and its effects on their daily lives. Enjoying outdoor fun and adventure in a safe, caring environment.
After the camp the children feel they are not alone. They feel stronger and happier, are more able to cope with their illness and it effects on their lives . This results in a positive impact on their wellbeing and mental health. They feel stronger and feel more able to cope with the problems they encounter.
The entire family will benefit from them being stronger and happier. Often siblings are suffering too, and also parents and grandparents who have to face the fact that their (grand)child has a life-threatening illness. The child itself will benefit physically and mentally as they have pushed their limits and know they are not alone.
